oh sorry i didnt mention that mate, um mostly basher, with a little bit of racing down at the track :)
thanks james |
Well
Hotbodies has a new rtr buggy that is pretty much a d8. It looks really nice and you can always buy a nice steering servo, and a good race engine down the road...
|
If you are mostly going to bash it and want something cheap then I recomend the hyper 7.if you think you might race more often then the losi rtr is a nice car.the losi is more expensive but you get nicer equipment with it.

For pure racing, go with the Losi 8ight RTR. Great radio gear, comes with a starter box, lots of hop-up racing parts available too. It might be a touch fragile for bashing though. |
It all depends on price and if you are going to be competitive on the track. If the track dosent matter then go for the hyper if it does then go for the Losi.
|
My vote is for the Hotbodies D8S rtr, Hotbodies cars are super durable and you can upgrade it easily to a full out racer if you want to do that later on.
|
No problem with the Hot Bodies but I'd like to know, why you want a buggy is you plan to mostly bash? Why not a truggy?
|
thanks guys :).. yeah um mostly bashing with some races hear and there..
and um im not sure ive never had a truggy, so im not u to them.. thannks james |

Truggys are better for bashing :nod:
They are less upset by bumps & obstacles with wider track and bigger wheels Beware of RTR!!!! The kit that you need to upgrade always costs you more in the long run You'll just end up having to upgrade servos & radio gear in the immediate future and RTR engines are ssslllloooowwww compared to factory tuned race engines If I were to do it all again, I'd get a Serpent 811 chassis, Savox SC-1258TG servos, Massive Mods MG66 engine & a Spektrum DX3R Pro Race TX/RX All up, probably somewhere in the vicinity of $1000, but you've got great quality stuff that won't need upgrading any time soon and will be competitive at the races |
yes, i know what you mean mate,buying a kit probably would be the best bet, but i dont have that much money, cause im only 14.. i only have a couple of hundred. like $600...
thanks james |

thanks james Someone mentioned getting a Truggy earlier and the 8IGHT-T RTR is right around your budget and as stated above will handle bashing a LOT better. No matter what you get don't forget to budget in a Glow Igniter, Fuel Bottle and NiMH batteries if you get a car with a starter box. |
